Alex Swire-Clark is Stuart’s Guest on Episode 166 of The Couples Expert Podcast. Alex is a human behavioral and communications expert with a background in education. He’s got some insight to share on a model of human behavior that impacts relationships. Stuart brought him on the podcast to talk about communication issues between personalities in a marriage.
June means that wedding season is in full swing so this episode is rather timely in that the discussion is geared towards communication in marriage. Listen in as Stuart welcomes Alex to to the podcast and they delve into some of these very important topics.
What you’ll learn on today’s podcast:
- Defining your role in the marriage/relationship is the challenge 5:30
- Personality styles defined DISC 12:22
- How personalities interact with others in relationships 16:20
- How you complement each other even if you’re opposites 19:00
- Communication between the styles both verbal and non-verbal 22:06
Being ignorant of each other’s personality styles can cause problems as we approach and communicate to connect emotionally with our partners. Digging deeper gives us a greater understanding of what we each need in our relationships to feel connected, loved and important to our partners and spouses. As Stuart says, knowledge is power, and these insights are so valuable in teaching us how to approach our partners and communicate in ways they can receive and understand fully our intentions and desires. This can only make your relationship better!

Have you looked back at your wedding pictures lately? Have you seen what you and your partner looked like when you were first dating, just getting to know and love each other? Who were those crazy young people? Do they bear any resemblance to you and your partner today? The effects of the passage of time on relationships are many, and not all of them are good.
They say you can’t go home again and looking back isn’t healthy, but I tend to disagree in this instance. I think that for couples in a long -term relationship, couples that have been married for many years it’s a very healthy exercise to take a trip down memory lane back to the exciting sexy beginnings of their relationship together.
